Interview with Lucie LeBieu
by Elle James

At the Raccoon Saloon, Lucie is working as a waitress in a bar full of rowdy Cajuns.

Male Reporter: Do you have time to answer a few questions, Ms. LeBieu?

Lucie: (settling onto a bar stool) If you make it fast and not too personal.

Reporter: As the granddaughter of the infamous Madam LeBieu, how much hands-on experience do you have with the art of Voodoo?

Lucie: Gran LeBieu has been after me to learn the trade, but it’s not something I particularly believe in or have had an interest in learning. (Looking down at her shoes) Until recently. I’m sure it’s not that difficult. She’s got a spell book at her house in the bayou. It’s nothing more than reading the directions… Easy peasy.

Reporter: Rumor has it you used Voodoo to cast a spell on a local politician?

Lucie: (glances away) I don’t know what you’re talking about. Next question.

Reporter: Have you ever concocted a love potion?

Lucie: (face turns red) Of course not. Love should be something from the heart not a potion. (fidgeting in her chair)

Reporter: Is there any truth to the rumor you grandmother can turn men into frogs?

Lucie: (smilingly relieved) Now don’t you go believing everything you hear. Voodoo is like a healing art. It’s not a form of punishment.

Reporter: Then how to you explain Voodoo Dolls?

Lucie: (softly snorts) A gimmick cooked up by marketers. They don’t really work. Wanna test that theory? (pulls out a doll and long pin from behind the bar) Give me a strand of your hair.

Reporter: (Plucking strand, hands to Lucie) Are you sure it doesn’t work? That’s a really big needle you have there.

Lucie: (grinning as she lays the reporter’s hair across the doll) Relaxxxx. Now watch carefully as I poke this pin into the doll. (pokes doll in the hand)

Reporter: Ouch! (curls hand into a fist) I felt that.

Lucie: (holds pin over the doll’s crotch) Anymore questions?

Reporter: (eyes rounded, sweat popping out on his forehead, shakes head) Not from me. Thank you for your time. Mind if I have my hair back?

Lucie: Not at all. (whispers: Silly man)

Meet Lucie LeBieu in VOODOO FOR TWO, Book #2 of the CAJUN MAGIC series available from Entangled Publishing.
